Demons are malevolent, evil personalities. They are spirit beings. They are the enemies of God and His angels, and man. Their objectives in people are to deceive, tempt, accuse, condemn, defile, pressure, resist, oppose, steal, control, harass, afflict, kill, and destroy. They also try to keep people in bondage to sin. The same demons the Lord Jesus Christ was casting out of people when He walked on the earth about 2,000 years ago are still around! Indeed, the scriptures read “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

Demons enter through “open doors.” They have to be given an opportunity to enter. Every person on the face of the earth is a target of satan’s kingdom. He devises a plan to ruin and destroy each person, there is no one who is exempt.

Normally, Christians are hedged about so that demons can’t enter into them (yes, despite what some would adamantly deny, Christians can be demonized, but not be possessed). Normally, non-Christians are also protected to a certain extent in that the Lord does not allow demons to violate their free wills. An opening in the protective hedge must be made before demons can get into a person’s body.

Sin (especially continual, habitual sin) breaks a hole in the protective hedge, many times allowing a demon or demons to actually enter into a person committing the sin. The scriptures are clear: any dealing with the works of satan opens a doorway in a person’s life for the inflow of demonic infestation. God told the Israelites: “Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God” (Leviticus 19:31). The scriptures are also clear that whatever a man sows that is what he will reap (Galatians 6:7), and to not give the devil a foothold in your life (Ephesians 4:17). If you have lived a life of blatant rebellion against God then you shouldn’t be surprised if you have issues with demons, whether you are a Christian or non-Christian.

That said, demons do not always automatically leave the body of a demonized person when converted to Christ. The convert may need to have prayer for deliverance.

But one may argue that there are many who live a life of blatant sin but their lives seem to be going well or even “blessed.” Yes, that is true for some people and it is possible the god of this world (satan) is “blessing” them. Satan doesn’t mind if a person has the “good life” as long as that person is on the broad road to destruction – to hellfire. The demons they may have in their life can lay low, but will get stirred up and will retaliate against the person if he or she repents and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ. I have experienced this in my life: once I totally repented and submitted my life to Jesus Christ, the host of hell tried to literally kill me. Why? Because once a person turns to Jesus the person becomes a threat to satan’s kingdom since the person can be used by the Holy Spirit for God’s kingdom.

The list is not exhaustive but here are some things that will possibly open a person up to demonic infestation. Some things are due to the person’s own sins and others due to other people’s sins.

I have come across people were there was no apparent doorway for the enemy to afflict him or her. And there were no generational curses that we could identify. I believe in such cases God may be testing the person’s faith. Job was a man who was blameless before God but God allowed satan to afflict him with boils (Job 2:6). God allowed the apostle Paul to have a messenger (or angel) from satan in his flesh, which he called a thorn, to buffet him to keep him humble (Corinthians 12:7-9). The following scripture can apply to such people who are being afflicted:

“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy” (1 Peter 4:12). Yes, those who truly live for Jesus Christ will suffer persecution in some form or another (2 Timothy 3:12).

For many years I got attacked constantly by the enemy even though I wasn’t practicing any sins. The more I prayed or the more I did some good works for the Lord the more the enemy retaliated. It’s not an easy path to really live for Jesus Christ as the scriptures read “…Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22).

Possible signs or symptoms of demonization or demon possession:

Feeling or sensing the demons moving on the inside of them; can feel the pains move around. Feeling pressure or tightness and movement in the head or eyes and stomach areas.

Will have strong, inner compulsions to do bad things that are not in their normal behavior patterns like having bad thoughts of suicide, murder, or to molest. May also have very strong addictions to things like drugs, alcohol, pornography, and masturbation.

Very heavy, uncontrollable twitching type activity on certain parts of their bodies like their face and their arms.

A compulsive desire to want to curse and blaspheme God and Jesus.

The demons can at times control the vocal cords and speak right out of the person’s mouth. When this occurs, the tone of the person’s voice could change, like a woman speaking out in a man’s deep, husky voice. Demons can also emit animal-like sounds out of a person’s mouth and vocal cords like the hissing of a snake, the growling of a lion or tiger, or the emitting of a baying type howl like a wolf. They can also let out very loud screams and yells, especially when being directly confronted by the deliverance minister during the actual deliverance itself.

Various types of facial contortions which no longer look like the person, such as glazed eyes or a filmy look, slit eyes, blank stare type eyes, eyes rolling backward where all you see are the whites of the eyes, black eyes, and stretching the skin of the face into a contorted, hissing like expression.

Various types of bodily contortions like people slithering across the floor like snakes, getting on all fours and barking like dogs, growling like lions, or howling like wolves. Strangely stretching out their spines, fingers, and hands locking up and going rigid, and demons grabbing a hold of a person’s throat in order to try and stop them from talking with a deliverance minister. The demons can also whip the head in a very rapid side-to-side type movement, stretch the neck out as far as it will go, along with jolting portions of the body causing those portions to move in a very rapid side-to-side type movement.

Many diseases and physical afflictions can be due to spirits of infirmity (See: Luke 13:11). I believe Morgellons disease and fibromyalgia are several examples. Blindness, deafness, and being mute can be demonically caused.

Having a choking sensation; dizziness; blackouts.

Have a very hard time praying and reading or hearing from their Bible. Aversion to worship.

Compulsive desire to tear other people down even if it means lying to do so. The vicious cutting use of the tongue may well be demonic.

Dreams and nightmares that are of a horrific, recurring nature. Clairvoyant dreams– dreams that later come true– may be demonic. Frequent dreams of dead people or death; or dreams of a (horrid) sexual nature.

If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you can receive Him into your heart and He can deliver you from darkness and sin and have your name written in His Book of Life.

If you are sincere you can say this simple prayer to the Father (it doesn’t have to be word for word):

“God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. Please forgive me of all of my sins just as I forgive others. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross, I believe in my heart Jesus is Lord and was raised from the dead and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in the Lord and GOD Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen.”

This article sounds like you are the one that has been ingesting large amounts of drugs. What a bunch of delusional horse shit. People like you are the reason I turned away from God for so long and the reason people and “demons” (lol) mock the church and gospel of His word. Everything on this site is 99% garbage. The only correct things in them are the quotes from scripture and that you can spell “God”.

I feel real sorry for you anybody that has any dealings with God or any spiritual activity in their life has to know by just looking at it this world and the things that go on and you actually think this girl’s lying that is the devil line to you and I pray in the name of Jesus that you are living your life the way you should and having right relationship with Jesus Christ because if you’re not like I said I feel sorry for you

You’re more than welcome to burn in hell but to sit here and get upset over things which are indeed factual.. Clueless clown, why even waste your time? 😂 If you hate God so much then go to one of his satanic sites and post “#hailsatan”. Kick rocks

You don’t seem right to me. You sound pretty angry. These things are energetic issues, holding grudges, resentment, building up anxiety (from demonic entities and narcissists who carry demons and put their “negativity” on you, energetically speaking) and so much more.

Even scientists now are making links between types of seizures and anxiety, and why do you think epileptics have all kinds of spiritual visions, huh? Maybe it’s God showing them how to live right or opening up their mind.

Anti-depressants, what do they do? Numb your connection to your soul, turn you into a primate, you feel like a zombie, and you go day by day with emotional numbness. Again, never fixing the root cause of the depression, so literally nothing more than a band-aid. And plus, now scientists are coming out with studies that show that serotonin depletion is caused by low social contact and community support, that’s how we naturally build up serotonin in our brain, when we work together and help each other. So, it’s all spiritual, but you are just blind, and also rude. I’d do some research before I’d sound so ignorant once more if I was you. You take care and good luck to you man, and stop being so angry.

What a great source of information for everyone dealing with demonic attacks and issues.

It is so important for them to find confirmation that they are not crazy and to be pointed to the one and only help, rescue and remedy: JESUS CHRIST.
I am particularly happy to see many things on your lists that are not commonly connected with demonic causes – and I totally, completely, 100% agree with you from my own personal experience!

GOD bless you for spreading the truth and for helping to depopulate hell and bringing more brothers and sisters home!
I bet you will be greeted with standing ovations when you get to heaven 🙂
Keep up the good work, you are making such a big difference and are throwing so many ropes to souls in despair and on the road to perdition.

I am sure THE LORD simply LOVES your blog!
Every.
Single.
Article.
Because you are publishing HIS TRUTH.
What could men say about it?
What is even my appreciation and praise for your work compared to HIS approval?
You are giving HIM glory with every word.
And HE will not leave this unrewarded!
THE LORD will bless you, reward you and favor you, in JESUS’ name. AMEN.

1 John 5:18 is true unless you open the doors to the enemy or if God allows it for His purposes.

1 Cor. 5:1-5 Speaks of a believer seemed to be filled with a spirit of lust and as a result, delivered over to Satan.

and

Ephesians 4:25-27 Lying and anger can “give place” or a “foothold” to the devil in a Christian’s life. The words “give place” or “foothold” is translated from the Greek word “topos“, which can mean an inhabited space.

Paul was “touched” by the enemy. God allowed it for His purposes:

“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger [angel] of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure” (2 Corinthians 12:7).

Sir, I seriously appreciated this long explanation, I masturbated for over 20years, And I have a strong character that’s I hardly give up in anything, I used to dreams of major things that I will do during the day and it used yo happen exactly, I notice I was dedicated to Satan by my ancestors/parents because I suffered demonic attack while I was small, And I don’t know where they get the solution to tackle the issues, I accepted Christ as lord and savior it I keep masturbating for many years, I hardly got married, But before my wedding I saw one lady in wedding gown left the church premises angrily in form of the lady am planning to marry,After my wedding I was short of sperm during or when am having sex with my wife,But later my sperm became available, I noticed that masturbation is a sin since when I was at Bible college but I can’t stop it by then,
But glory be to God now over a year I stopped masturbating but I was serious attacked in one way or the other, I saw one woman in vision walking away from me angrily because I stopped masturbating ,Later she came in convoy telling me to say sorry,and keep saying is this what you will do to me?, So I repulsed to apologized to her and she came in form of my mother,
As I stopped masturbating I later become the victim of seeing a woman appearing in my dream wanting to make love with me but sometimes I used to ignored her,And later I used to have sex in dream with my wife or other ladies that I know,
I prayed over it and am not having sex in dream now, but am battling with severe list, I need your prayers and deliverance, Am ready for it now.
